Haskell Platform: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump'
I'm having trouble installing Haskell Platform on Windows. After the install, I run "cabal update", which appears to work: 00-index.tar.gz is deposited in C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/Application Data/cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org. However, when I try to "cabal install" anything, I get: cabal.exe: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump' "ghc-pkg dump --global" appears to run just fine. Ideas? Suggestions? -Tom
Classic pilot error. I had an old cabal.exe on the search path.
